Sep. 2: Sorta bad-ass

I'm more than a little bit proud of this.

Created by Oatmeal

I don’t really want to fight Justin Bieber; I just want him to not exist in my world anymore. If that means I have to fight him, I totally will. Sorry, Katie.

One of my Facebook friends said that while on her son’s computer, she tried to get to my blog and the parental controls set on his account wouldn’t let her in. I had no idea that Stuff Jen Says is profane enough to be caught by naughty-filters. Big apologies to anyone who ends up here on an innocent Google search and is shocked at what they find. I’m pretty sure there’s a lot worse stuff out there, though.

I ran my blog URL through a film rating tester. I haven’t done this in a while and am too lazy to try to find the results of the last one. This time, the results were a big, fat ‘R’ rating. Honestly? I’m not surprised at all by the rating, but very surprised it didn’t list a lot more of the profanity I’ve recently used.

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

piss (2x)

cocaine (1x)

Don’t judge me.

Dec. 17: A look under the hood

Today is our third snow day of the week and I am not-so-slowly losing it. I understand the school district’s top concern is for its students’ safety, but are they really better off stuck at home with parents that are on the verge of locking them in the closet? (I’m looking at you, Lori Lassen…)

For you, dear reader, this insanity should mean you don’t hear from me in a while. But I need a distraction, so instead it means you get a stolen post. Chris gave us a look under his hood and I decided to do the same.

My Blogger stats tell me lots of uninteresting things:

This is my 898th post since I started the blog in 1999. I made one post in 1999 and again in 2004, but have been slightly more post-y in other years.
Last year I reached a high of 379 posts and am on track to hit 400 this year.
Most of the Google searches that have brought people here to Stuff Jen Says are people’s names. However, the next most popular search phrase was “Zac Efron pantsless.” This frightens me in several ways.
In the past year I had 2,168 absolutely unique visitors with 6,639 visits. They spent an average of one minute, 39 seconds on each visit.

Typealyzer is a site that analyzes a blog to determine its writing personality. Results for Stuff Jen Says are:

ESFP - The Performers
The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don’t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

They enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

Except for the planning ahead thing (I insist on planning ahead, even if it’s impossible and even if I suck at it), this sounds like me. Interesting, since my Myers-Briggs personality type is usually INFJ or INFP. Does this mean I have multiple personalities? (Shut up, Chris.)

My blog’s readability (the level of education required to understand it):

Gender Analyzer: Man or woman, who is writing that blog?
We think http://jmanullang.blogspot.com is written by a woman (74%).

What’s the film rating of my blog?

(Apparently this rating is because I used the word “crappy” four times and “hell” once. Shameful!)

What’s my blog worth?
I’m hoping this analysis isn’t terribly scientific.

My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?

Cubestat says Stuff Jen Says is worth $190.53.

Website Outlook says jmanullang.blogspot.com is not a valid domain. I would like them to bite me. They do, however, find www.manullang.com and say it’s worth $189.80. They should still bite me.

Oct. 2: No surprise here

Stolen from Chris. Take the quiz and post your result in a comment.

Apr. 22: Be a rock star

So you want to be a rock star, but you don't know how to start? Here's some help. Go to...

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. [Or just list them like this and include a link to the photo:]

My band name: Deception of Zeus
My album title: Your Mistakes Seem Worthwhile
My album cover pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24367079@N04/2429202145/

I love my band name and album title, but the cover pic... I don't know. Tagging Kath, April, Lori, Chris, Sheila and whoever else wants to play along.

Apr. 19: Rather embarrassing

Well, my score on this test totally sucked and I’m thoroughly ashamed. I’m a font nerd and should have done much, much better. I got more than half right, but barely.

See how you do on The Rather Difficult Font Game. I won’t make fun, I promise. For reals. If you get more than half of them right, I’ll challenge you to a font-off. Ooooh!

Apr. 4: Typeity type type

I definitely inherited my mom's quick typing skills. (Thanks, Mom!) I got 91 words per minute on this test. Try it out and report your results. I promise not to make too much fun of your slowpokedness.

Typing test

You know I'm joking, of course. I will totally make fun of your slowpokedness. Don't you know me at all???

Mar. 15: Mind games

I took this personality quiz twice. First I was tagged a suck-up, then a bully. Quite frankly, I question the reliability of the exam...

I hope you have more pleasing results--please share.

Hey, have you ever danced with the bogeyman by the pale moon light? Stare at this pic for a while and it may be as close as you ever get. You'll never be the same. Go ahead. I dare you.

Dec. 5: Booze test

Stolen from Chris.

Geez, I sucked at this quiz. But given my upbringing and the fact that girl drinks are my alcoholic beverages of choice and that I rarely drink at all, I'm surprised I did this well. Luck, I guess.

Nov. 28: Smarter than a 6th grader

Hey, Chris, you gotta try this on your blog too.

I think I could raise my reading level rating if I regularly used more words like atrabilious, sapient, implacable, expeditious, supercilious, soporific and megrim instead of kinda, sorta, gonna and seester. Meh, I don't know.

Nov. 15: Personality plus?

According to this test, at least one of my personalities is "sentry." I'm not sure what I should name her, but she sounds terrific.

Nov. 15: Jen's many travels

This is pretty pathetic. I need to make my map a little more green before I die.

Sep. 28: Where's my easy button?

Here's a quick quiz about office supplies.

What’s your favorite small office supply (like something that can fit in your top desk drawer)?
Post-its, definitely

What’s your favorite medium office supply (like something that can fit on your desktop)?
A little three-drawer Rubbermaid chest thingie. Whatever I need frequently can usually be found there.

What’s your favorite large office supply (like a furnishing or a large tool)?
My filing cabinet. I set up a great filing system last year. I don't use it, but I set it up.

To which specific office supply do you have a particular personal attachment?
I love sharp #2 pencils. Seems like no one else in the house does, so they don't get stolen.

Which office supply do you consider yourself something of an expert on?
Paper clips. Ask me anything.

One downside to working for oneself: stealing office supplies isn't nearly so satisfying.

Sep. 24: Scrabble score

Two names only, please.

facts of jen's life

So, who do you think you are? I think I’m Jen. People who don’t know me sometimes call me Jenny. That’s weird.

Tell me about yourself. I was born a small black child, and am now a grown-up, or at least my kids think I am. I’m in my mid-40s and live in the ‘burbs of Portland, Oregon. My husband is Victor, and my kids are Katie and Jack. Read this if you want the real and very long scoop.

Tell me things people might not know about you. I am an ordained minister and can perform marriages. Why no one has asked me to do this for them yet, I do not know. ● At the request of my Disney-hating friend Ed, I got mouse ears embroidered with the name “Satan” and I didn’t even get kicked out of Disneyland. It’s quite possibly the ballsiest thing I’ve ever done. ● I “helped” write this book, published in 2012: You Take it From Here, by Pamela Ribon. My name is in the back, and I’m still geeking out about it. ● I recorded a song in a studio in 1994 and it got local radio play for a few months. At least two times I turned on the radio in the car and my song was playing at that moment—very cool. ● I nearly died from a zit in 1986. I am not making this up. ● Victor and I once appeared on The Tonight Show. Really. If you can find a VCR, I’ll show you the tape.

I read some of your posts and I think you might be an alcoholic. I drink way less than I write about drinking. If I ever STOP talking about booze, then it’ll be time for an intervention.

What do you love? Books. Coffee. Fonts. Broadway musicals. San Francisco. Bacon. Rum. Law & Order. Naps. Butter. Home. Crack cocaine. iDevices. Words. Disney vacations. You.

If you could punch anything or anyone in the face, what/who would it be? Cancer. I was diagnosed with lymphoma in November 2009. I kicked its big fat ugly ass and am in remission now. ● Comic Sans. ● People who won’t take responsibility for their problems—the “I didn’t do anything to deserve this!” attitude. Look in the mirror. That’s who to blame. ● Celebrities who are famous for no reason. Y’know, if we stop looking, they’ll go away... ● Bad grammar and spelling and the dummies who use it.

You seem bitter. Did someone piss in your Cheerios? I’m not bitter. I think unicorns-and-rainbows stuff isn’t very interesting to read, so I tend not to write that way. But also, now you’re being kind of a jackhole.

It seems like no one ever comments on your blog posts. Why is that? Most people comment on the Facebook links. I don’t know why.

What if I want to tell you something? Two ways to reach me: leave a comment on a post, or e-mail me at jenniferTAKETHISPARTOUTmanullang at gmail-dot-com.
